Typically the bride’s parents would issue the invitations, because traditionally they would host their daughter’s wedding. However these days, more and more couples are paying for their own weddings or the costs are split between the families of the bride and groom.
The reasoning behind couples paying for their own wedding is fair and understandable. Today’s couples are more financially able to cover the cost than in the 1970’s. No longer does the bride live at home, being taken care of by her parents, until the day she marries prince charming. Women take care of themselves and are now in financial position to contribute to their grand day.
Usually, wedding invitations will suggest who is considered the host. The host is the person (s) issuing the invitation. Although, it is not incorrect to use the traditional style when the couple is covering the entire cost of the wedding; some wish to use this style out of respect for their parents and tradition. Contemporary wording is also in vogue, so don’t be afraid to consider it as well. You just might like something different than the traditional wording.
